Thermalgal’s Temperate Mumblings

Hopefully the rest of the photos

I’m getting errors trying to put two of the pictures in, so I’m skipping them for now…

This is a picture of the Mejia family that I stayed with. They were a great family and it made this trip so much better and more memorable than my last one.

And lastly, here is a panorama I took of the Mejia house. It is a standard house in El Progreso. All the houses have the gates and fences all around.

I got tagged!

And for now I’ll just leave you with this picture. This is Karen, one of the children of the lady we made the house for.

I’m outta here!

Well, not this very second but this will be my last blog entry until after I return on the 19th. Our flight leaves at 6am, so we are meeting at the church at 3am. My church (sister church of the one who organizes this) has two pastors. One is going on the trip and the other is driving the van full of luggage to and from the airport. Pastor Joe (the one driving the van) asked me to drive him to the church since the van will already be there. So, I’m picking him up at 2:15am. Of course I live about half an hour away so that means I kiss Scott goodbye and head out about 1:45am! I slept in late this morning because I have no idea when I’ll get to sleep next (I’m hoping before Tuesday night!).

I’m taking my camera with me to Honduras, but feel free to take a look at my pictures from my last trip until I get back. The only difference for this trip is the rain. I looked at the weather forecast and it looks like rain from now until the 18th.

I’ll have lots of things to post when I get back since I’ve been slack on the photos of finished projects. I finished two ornaments, two cupcake hats, one baby Bobbi bear with a drop stitch ribbon scarf, and one sock. I’m taking the second sock with me on the trip, so I’ll hopefully have a finished pair when I return. The sock is just the basic toe up pattern from Wendy Knit’s. I’m thinking of taking more yarn with me in case I finish this sock (we have a four hours layover in Miami tomorrow). I’ve decided the next pair will be Jaywalker’s. I just need to decide on the yarn, blue or black/white?

Happy New Year!

I took Friday off so I got a four day weekend. And I’m glad that I did. It doesn’t really feel like the holidays when you only get a three day weekend for Christmas.

But the holidays are over and now it is time it look forward… to my vacation next week! I’m leaving next weekend for Honduras. I’m going again to help build a house. I’m staying with a different family this time so I’m hoping to get a better taste of the average Honduran family (the family I stayed with last time spoke fluent English and lived in the US for many many years).
